    KYLE BUSCH: Driver, No. 18 M&M’S/Interstate Batteries Toyota Camry Birthdate: May 2, 1985 Birthplace: Las Vegas Hometown: Las Vegas Residence: Charlotte, North Carolina Spouse: Samantha Children: Brexton Two-time and defending NASCAR Cup Series champion – it’s a title Kyle Busch wears proudly as driver of the No. 18 M&M’S/Interstate Batteries Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) during the 2020 season, his 16th full season in NASCAR’s top series. The 34-year-old from Las Vegas punctuated his latest milestone-filled campaign in 2019 with a dominating victory at the season-ending race at Homestead-Miami Speedway, which clinched his second Cup Series title in five years and further immersed his presence among North American stock car racing’s most elite competitors of all-time. Busch’s fifth and final victory of 2019 was the 56th of his Cup Series career, second among active drivers only to seven- time champion Jimmie Johnson’s 83, and his second career Cup Series title made Busch the only active driver other than Johnson to own multiple championships. The 56th career victory for Busch also broke a tie for ninth place on the all-time Cup Series wins list with NASCAR Hall of Famer Rusty Wallace. In the bigger picture, the 2019 season saw Busch surpass yet another career milestone – 200 wins in NASCAR’s top three series (Cup, Xfinity and Truck). His five wins each in the Cup Series and Truck Series and another four in the Xfinity Series in 2019 lifted Busch’s career total to 208.
